Unfortunately, you pretty much have to dump the kit to use the mirror, or pull the lid off. Plus, its a bit of a PITA to aim using the 2-handed 'V' targeting technique, as the polished tin lid doesn't have a sighting hole and retroreflective mesh screen. A truly functional mirror is a better choice, IMO, and not substantially heavy or excessively large (see the AMK PSK). Polishing the inside of a tin lid as a backup mirror surface makes sense, though.
